Michele Howard

My love of cycling started with a bike called Daisy that had flowers, a basket and a banana seat.  I rode it everywhere with no helmet and not a care in the world. Although my bike has changed and I’ve added many to my fleet, I still love to ride my bike just as much as I did as a little girl and I plan on riding and race until I can’t.  In the immortal words of teammate Hal Bevier, “You're gonna have to shot me off this bike.” I couldn’t agree more.

Riding with my Hagerty teammates is one of the greatest pleasures and honors, I have had in my life.  They are all great people who push each other to try harder, laugher harder and achieve more on and off the bike. 

Outside of biking, I am also a triathlete, swimmer, skier, librarian, mom, model, social media goddess, prankster, poet, ghost writer, volunteer, party organizer and friend.  I’m not sure what’s in store for racing in 2016, but 2015 rocked!
